Doug, I think it has to do with the specifics of your light. Here, where sun is strong and most of the day very high up, I tend to go -1/3 or even -2/3 EV on my K10D. Since I got the rather bright Katz Eye screen for the camera, it is affecting the metering and so I don't have to dial in my negative compensation.
You could be right. I'm at approximately 34N 84W. You're somewhere relatively near 31N 34E. We're close to the same latitude, but your air has a lot less water in it, I'm guessing. :-) Our relative humidity was >80% today, and it'll get worse before October dawns on our fair land. :-)
But I definitely get better results overall with a half (usually) to a full (rarely) stop of overexposure on the *ist D and K10D.
I should be interested to compare how new metering system of K-7 fares under the promised sun of the promised land ;-).
I'm just trying to scrape together the cash. ;-> Maybe I should keep the K10D and visit the Holy Lands, instead. Avoiding upgrading from SDTV to HDTV would allow visiting Berlin, Warsaw, Krakow, Prague, Budapest, and a host of other places, too. Damn this gearitis.
